Send Lyrics - Gym Class Heroes

Now I could sit here and baffle you 

With shallow babble 

And a bunch of punch lines 

You probably won't get 

Or even use some big words 

That you'd have to look up 

But, I'm not a teacher 

So go ahead and close your book up 

I could tell a fairy tale so convincing 

And keep a straight face from beginning 

To happy ending 

I could waste 32 bars telling you how to live 

Knowing damn well I used mtv cribs for the blueprint 

I could bore you to death with my past relationships 

Or a little ditty bout Jack and Dianne 

Or I could go back to childhood 

Dig up them skeletons 

And spit them at you with a catchy hook 

Look, I could strike a nerve with some four letter words 

That'll make Richard Pryor proud 

Or better yet, I could sing a jingle that'll contort and mingle 

Every single solitary letter in the alphabet 

(I could tell you whatever you want to hear 

But if I just said hello would you listen to me? 

I could sell a blind man new ears 

If I just said hello would you listen to me? 

I'm trying hard trying to make it perfectly clear 

But I'm dying because their aint nobody listening to me 

Been relying on myself on myself for more than 22 years 

And I aint crying I just need someone to listen to me 

Can I get some reply get maybe some kind of sign 

to let me know that you're listening to me? 

Just from time to time I get lost in my mind 

Its hard to find someone to listen to me 

My ears were open when you needed some consoling 

Now I'm hoping to hear something besides echos every time I say hello 

I could talk about my duds 

And my thrift store scores 

But that probably wouldn't interest you 

But why should it 

I mean, I've seen a lot of shit in 22 years 

But your feet in my shoes isn't something I recall 

And I've been known to drink 22 beers 

Before a show 'cause 

otherwise I probably wouldn't have the balls 

I could make references to books I never read 

For the sake of sounding conscious 

But, that's just obnoxious 

I could take off these bandages and 

Expose these papercuts 

And put them in the air 

with both my middle fingers up 

or talk about myself in third person 

like I'm better than you 

'cause there's nothing else better to do 

I could attack your character from 

Eighty different angles 

Cleverly explaining exactly how wack you are 

But why do that when it's a well known fact 

you buying this cd is potentially feeding me 

(come on) 

(I could tell you whatever you want to hear 

But if I just said hello would you listen to me? 

I could sell a blind man new ears 

If I just said hello would you listen to me? 

I'm trying hard trying to make it perfectly clear 

But I'm dying because their aint nobody listening to me 

Been relying on myself on myself for more than 22 years 

And I aint crying I just need someone to listen to me 

Can I get some reply get maybe some kind of sign 

to let me know that you're listening to me? 

Just from time to time I get lost in my mind 

Its hard to find someone to listen to me 

My ears were open when you needed some consoling 

Now I'm hoping to hear something besides echos every time I say hello
